The Mount Pleasant Carnegie Library, at 24 E. Main St. in Mount Pleasant, Utah, was built as a Carnegie library in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

It was designed by architects Ware & Treganza in Prairie School style.[2]

It is the only Carnegie library without a centered front door; consistent with Prairie Style the entrance is instead indirect, in this case through sides of a bay projecting to the front.[2]

It was built by local contractors Bent R. Hansen, August Larsen, and John Stansfield.[1]
